The 16-year-old revealed how she woke in hospital terrified and surrounded by machines with no memory of what happened

Leah fortunately pulled through and has made a full recovery from her ordeal.

Speaking about what she remembers of the night she took the pill, she said: "There is so much of what happened that I can't remember but I know I have been very lucky and I won't be trying drugs again.

"We were out in the evening, first at a friend's in Marsh Green and then at another in Norley and at some point I got a pill.

"I can't remember where and I had never had one before. After that is a blank until I woke up in hospital surrounded by tubes and machines.

"It was a bit frightening because I had no idea where I was at first or what had happened to me.

The teenager has said she won't be trying drugs again and thanked medical staff who treated her

Professor Kate Ardern, director of public health for Wigan Council, said: "The exact contents of any ecstasy tablet are unknown and can cause dangerous side-effects such as severe illness, admission to hospital and in some cases even death.

"I would advise all young people to stay safe and keep away from taking such drugs."
